Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: A. A: Merchandise is of the type defined in 19 CFR 132.1(e).
Section 142.17(a) lists the conditions for one entry summary covering several entries: same countries of exportation and origin, same carrier, same consignee, no more than 1 week between first and last entry, filing within 10 working days, and each entry identified by number. Being the quota-class merchandise of 132.1(e) is not a condition; 142.17(b) actually bars quota-class merchandise from this procedure.
The time between the date of the first entry and the date of the last entry does not exceed 1 week 19 CFR 142.17(a)(4)
